What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Mount Veeder Winery was the first in California to recognize the unique complexity and characteristics that could be achieved by blending Cabernet Sauvignon with the four other traditional Bordeaux varieties. The result is a rich red wine that is full of finesse.

There's wonderful richness, depth and complexity to this California Cabernet, with its layers of earthy currant, mushroom, cedar, clay, tar and leather. Made in a big, chewy and rustic style, it just needs short-term cellaring. Best from 2001 through 2009.

When first opened, this revealed a beautiful earthy nose, followed by coffee, cedar, lead pencil and tobacco. This is not a Pauillac? Sweet flavors with good, sweet tannins in the background. Wth time revealed fresh mint in the nose, which reminds me of Leoville las Cases. Well done, plenty of body, all components well integrated. Drinking nicely now, will hold five years. Wonderful with beef steak.
